Buckets Of Snow

The snow came down in buckets Measured in yards instead of feet Days and days it fell steadily After while it was not a treat The children didn’t worry though About going to school right then And in some places it’s typical While in others it’s not a trend Snow sculptures were everywhere White on white was the scheme Nature seemed to play a joke With its freezing white-out theme Electricity was out wherever I went Power lines were simply crippled Stopped still and frozen in time Emergencies nearly tripled Winter was here – oh yes it was And it looked like it’d stay forever There seemed to be no relieve in sight Mother Nature acting so clever But, we’ll dig our way out soon I hope And time will pass without fail But we sure are waiting patiently For spring time to unveil!
